Tram of Thought: Comic strip about psychology, philosophy, society, engineering, and just life in all its gory glory

Privacy

Privacy on the internet. A Triangle-person is shown sitting at home, typing at a computer. Their wifi signal is propagating beyond the house, where a black-hat character with a notepad is picking up the signal. Separately, the signal reaches the wifi router, and goes out into the world. First it passes through a computer, where a hard-hat engineer is investigating the insides. Then it passes through a Google-coloured machine full of leaking water. Next it goes through a unconscious computer leaking green goo. After that it passes through a computer with a person holding a stethoscope to it, weating a furry black hat with a red star. Then it goes through a computer from which drugs are spilling out, one of them blue and triangular, marked with V. After that it passes back through the Google machine, then continues past a person with a chart and a magnifying lens, to finally reach a cellphone tower. This tower spreads the signal all around, including to the recipient who looks like the person's mother.
